Hi everyone,
Well after signing up a week ago I figured I best get my welcome post up.
I'm getting into woodworking - I need a hobby as work and my young family pretty much consumes me. In my teenage years I had a lathe and did some turning but never stuck at it. I was watching a few DIY videos on YouTube before Christmas and that somehow led me onto some woodworking videos and decided this was going to be the thing for me.
The last 2 months have been a complete time sink of watching YouTube videos and reading so much of the content at an UnKnown Website and I saw many of the posters I enjoyed reading there had the same names on this little corner of the internet, only they were still posting here regularly
I've always been a fan of forums and much prefer the engagement factor of them compared to the one way feel of YouTube so here I am.
Where I am now is my wife's home town and has a history of furniture making which I am sure I will not live up to. I've also since discovered I am only a 5 minute drive from an Axminster tools showroom which is no doubt going to be expensive and a short drive from cutlist.co.uk which will be perfect for the sheet good projects I have in mind, however hand tools and cabinetry is what I'm aiming for long term.
Looking forward to being involved.
